daver123 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hey guys, I have been putting this off for too long. My rear trailing arms bushings are shot and need new ones. I cant seem to find the bushings from anywhere but the dealer and they want nearly 50 bucks a piece so im looking for alternatives. Does anyone know where i can get some cheap or has anyone tried converting to johnny joints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) I'd think jonny joints would be a good idea if you can do it. Smoother articulation and replaceble busings should always be available. On the other hand I think energy makes some poly ones that should last forever.

Coucoui6 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 i got my urethane bushing from 4x4parts.com... i replaced the upper and lower trail arm bushings for the rear. big difference on the highway. much more stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 if you can cut and weld get some creeper joints from trail gear. or actually i think steevo has some on his site that actually fit directly into the stock link mounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver123 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanx for the info guys i think im going to end up bulding new arms with johnny joints, I get pics once i get around to making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to switch to Johnny's as long as it doesn't effect my highway/ high speed driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
